Something as simple as a wavy line? o.O Its not even as complicated as sin(x). You can just generate a random number from -1 to 1 and add that to the position, or something like that. But that wouldn't be that smooth, so you could use a variation of the "wandering" method. But I think that's too much for you. o.O

well i really could use some help... so instead of making fun of my lack of these skills could someone help me out?

We are not making fun of your lack of skill...simply advising that you try to solve problems before asking us to solve them for you. Being in middle school is not an excuse, rather it is a privilege to start game programming so young.

Thank you very much! i truly appreciate the help.. I must soon learn all the trig in the world!

I'm assuming you saw my edit with the code and explanation?

In anyway, I understand your frustration. You just want to get things done without painstakingly reading through lots of explanations. You want to get things done[tm]. However, that's not the right way to learn things and use them properly in the future. Hopefully you get a small glimpse of what you can do with sin(theta) and hopefully you keep learning more maths because math is just awesome

Ok masteryoom. It's time to talk. With all due respect, please refrain from using all these oversized texts and obnoxious colors.

Let's act like adults here, please. We can get silly sometimes, but properly and at the right time.

Note: this is not meant to be offensive. I am simply tired of seeing you post with HUGE font random comments that add nothing to the conversation. Let's maintain a high signal to noise ratio on these boards.
